Is It Normal To Have Visibility Of Veins On Wrists And Feet During Pregnancy?
I m 17 years old and 2 weeks pregnant. I m 5 7 and I weight about 150 pounds, my weight constantly goes up and down. 143 being the lowest and 155 the highest. Since I ve been pregnant my weight has been 150 even. Today I noticed that my veins are very visible in my feet and wrists, is that normal? I seem to be having a lot of symptoms that started during my first week, is that too early?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Weight gain is normal in pregnancy.
Moreover, due to increased blood flow in pregnancy, the veins become prominent and engorged.
There is nothing to worry if there are no associated symptoms.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
